Public:
On Earth, Darkedge is unknown, but may be seen as a mutant or a meta before seen as an elf. On Avalon, Darkedge is the Queen's Blade, a lethal and unforgiven enforcer of the Queen's Will and Law. He is an assassin, able to move through shadows effortlessly.

Secret:
Darkedge came into the Queen of Avalon's service when he was young, having been drugged before her for petty theft. He earned her trust and his way into her service.

Born Belynrath Jaersendo, this elf is the son of the Lady of a Great House in the underground world of the Cave Elves. At an early age he was trained for close quarter combat, poison detection, and seduction. He was to be his mother's weapon in council. However, one night of drunken plotting with his cousin lead Belynrath into thinking he could seduce and therefore take a Lady of a rival House for his own. He had meant to then give that House to his Mother. Unfortunately, the seduction backfired, and Belynrath found himself completely in love with the Lady. She turned the tables on him, and his mother was forced to smuggle him to the surface to save him from death at the hands of the council. The elf lord, struggled on the surface until he was found by Morgana's guards. She took pity on him, seeing something more in him that he likely has come to realize for himself. As he matured under her tutileage, he was renamed Darkedge, and now acts as both her right-hand on confident and her instrument of death when it is called for.

Gemstone ControlRocks with crystalline structures obey Darkedge's will. He can move the gems along their facetlines, morphing them into shapes of his choosing. The shapes are limited by the stone's crystalline structure, and the more malleable the crystal's structure the harder it is for him to control it. Quartz, silicates, and diamond are among the easier crystals for Darkedge to work with.

AgilityLike other members of his race, Darkedge is blessed with inhuman grace, flexibility, and agility. It is almost feline, the way he can balance on narrow surfaces and land on his feet from even the most awkward of leaps.

Magic SenseA creature of magic, Darkedge has the racial ability to sense magic in the area. He can sense when it is actively in use and get the smell of it in an area after the caster is gone. With concentration, there is a chance he can match the feel of the magic with other types he's encountered before. To Darkedge, magic lingers in the air like a perfume.

Shadow StepGifted that which would make him of better use to his Queen, Darkedge has been given the ability to slip from shadow to shadow, all but a shade himself. He can not control them. But he can walk among them as one of them. He can step into one shadow and emerge from another. Darkedge s limited to 15 miles of distance, and the shadows must be connected by other shadows. The deeper the shadow the easier it is, and can allow him to take others with him. The trip is cold. Faint shadows may not be strong enough to bear his weight and so can not be stepped through.

TelepathyLike all of his type of elf, Darkedge is telepathic. He can maintain several mental conversations at once, without the thoughts bleeding into each other. He is also capable of projecting to a group or locking his mind's thoughts to a single person. The extreme of his mind's range is just under a quarter mile. Line of sight makes contact effortless. Using his telepathy, Darkedge can 'replay' parts of his memories to share with others. It is mentally taxing to do in increments that grow the older and more distance the memory being recalled is. He can not hear thoughts unless they are actively shared with him, likewise Darkedge can not sense emotions unless they are shared. Darkedge's main mode of communication is telepathy, and in the speech of the mind there cannot be lies. As such, Darkedge has never learned how to lie. He cannot. He can dance about a subject, speak around a topic, but he is incapable of out right lying.

DarkvisionBorn to cave elves, Darkedge is able to see in the dark as any normal person would in broad daylight. He can distinguish color and texture, distances and angles.

Martial ArtsDarkedge may have learned to fight with his people, but her had begun to perfect the art of combat and death in Avalon. He is lethal with his barehands and with a surprising number of small bladed objects. His style focuses on grace and speed. The elf isn't strong, and he's aware of this. He is also aware that he doesn't need to be strong to get the stabby edge of a blade into soft vulnerable spots on his victim.

SeductionTrained to be his mother's pawn, Darkedge learned how to make elf girls swooon. The skill set can transfer to females of almost any race. Some males too, if need be.

Blind FightingOwning to his inability to function where this is light, Darkedge has learned blind-fighting. Normally, fighters would use this when it is too dark to see, but for Darkedge this ability is useful to him when it is too bright to see.

Stealth & InfiltrationAn assassin by trade, Darkedge uses his type of elve's preference for silence to the fullest by perfecting his ability to navigate nearly any terrain soundlessly. While some of the more modern day human dwellings may confuse him as he tries to enter them, Darkedge is skilled enough to infiltrate many different types of buildings.

AvalonDarkedge is a loyal citizen of Avalon, and a member of the Queen's personal army. He has access to most parts of the palace, and has living quarters there. Food and clothing is available to him there, as well as whatever coin he may need to purchase goods on Avalon.

Shin Guards of ProtectionDark black leather greaves cover his shins from knee to ankle. The magic in them protect his body from harm as if he were wearing full body armor. The enchantment will stop small arms fire from outside point blank range, most swords and knives wielded by normal humans, and can cushion the impact equalivalent to falling four stories. If even one greave is removed, the enchantment falters and fails until both are worn again.

Enchanted ClothingEmployed by the Queen of Avalon, Darkedge has been gifted a set of combat sturdy leathers that mend small tears and nicks, remain clean in almost all situations, and are resistant to most elemental attacks. They don't grant Darkedge any added protection from such attacks. Thus, a fireball will still char the elf to a crisp, but his clothing would come out whole and clean, if a little warm and toasty. When the hood it drawn up, the shadows created by the fabric mitigate much of the harsh light that this cave elf is unaccustomed to, thus allowing him some freedom of movement in places otherwise too bright for him to operate.

Ring of EgressBound in service, when Darkedge must return from a mission he must do it on foot. If he can not, his Queen has given him an amulet to ease his travel. The egress amulet teleports Darkedge and only Darkedge directly to his Queen's side (She Who Created the Amulet)

ImmortalFull-bodied and of elven royal stock, Darkedge is timeless. Effectively ageless, Darkedge could outlive stars, if nothing fatal injuried him, or deprived him of food water or air.

WillpowerDarkedge has developed a diamond-hard will. Once his mind is set to a task or way of thinking, it is difficult to get him to alter his course.

TimelessAgelessness comes with a price. Detachment and loneliness. Still young by elven standards, Darkedge may one day come to realize that all that is around him will decay, grow old and turn into dust, while he remains ever youthful and vibrant.

AlcoholicDarkedge took to drinking too much when he was far too young. Now, he can no longer control himself when drink is involved. Human drinks don't affect him. It's the magically infused wines of his home that Darkedge has no defenses against. It is a craving he must fight against at all turns.

IlliterateElves have no written language. Thus, Darkedge has never learned to read or write. Living in the palace at Avalon, he has come to understand that other races have a written language, and he marvels silently at the power that grants.

SoulnameAnyone who knows his soulname can use it against him. A weapon in the wrong hands, using his soulname in combination with a magical or mental attack will make it impossible for Darkedge to defend against it. As such, his soulname is something he guards with every fiber of his being and for the moment the only one who knows it is his mother. She gave him life, after all.
